Hi all,

New to the concept of issuing a challenge, but can't resist. Ever since I heard the song, "Stranger" by Sawyer Fredericks, I have wanted to read a story based on the lyrics. I considered writing one, but time (and really, a lack of talent) made that a no-go. I hope that someone can step in and turn this into a story! No other requirements, really.

"Stranger in my head
Ain't nothing like him
Kicked me out and seems he's moved in

...

please decide if me, not I, is who you love
If what you want is me then I, I'll go"

Seems like there are a lot of possible ways to bend the lyrics into a Spike story... Getting turned into a vampire, time travel into himself, Spike/Angel mix-up... I am seeing angst about *who* Buffy truly loves, and some self-sacrifice, but I'm truly not picky. Just want to see what interpretations others may have. ;)

Please and thank you! 

Cat

Summary: In an alternate S6 Buffy is all alone until she meets a stranger who makes her want to live in the world again.
For SzmattyCat, who requested her stocking be stuffed with romantic angst with a whipped cream topping of AO. She made it easy for me by having a single challenge for a story based on "Stranger" by Sawyer Fredricks. Happy holidays!
